Book Overview

by Rob Sanders (Author), Gabbie Benda (Illustrator)

One sunny day at the local library, a family of readers rushed in the front door. To read and enjoy. To search and explore.

A Family of Readers celebrates the library as a vibrant community hub where every visitor--young and old--can explore, learn, and connect.

At first, the family members choose their favorite books and begin to read and read and read. But soon, Dad is distracted by a group of chefs who are working together to master bread making, Mom finds a group of auto mechanics who can help her solve her dilemma with the family car, and the older sister and brother have their heads in the clouds and their eyes on the stars as they join their friends.

But the youngest family member continues to be absorbed in his book and reads and reads and reads. The family members discover that the library has something for everyone--including friendship, camaraderie, opportunities to learn, and--of course--books!

As increasing book bans threaten access, this story invites families to embrace libraries as powerful, welcoming spaces for learning and community. Young readers are encouraged to explore, discover, and celebrate all libraries have to offer.
